Hey fellow farmers...

So after i smoked earlier my brain woke up...
Only smoke after i have finished my business for the day...

I actually did not make any mistakes with my indoor + the defoliation as i thought i did in a previous post...

According to the OP of the post that i read about his method of defoliation... You can't start to defoliate in flower... it will stunt the growth till the plant recovers... But if you defoliate in veg a bit... then in flower, the plant won't even skip a beat (notice it)...

Previously i thought i made the error of no defoliation in veg... but after i smoked my clever bud... i remembered that i did a defoliation to the main cola to get the others to grow like they have now... so yeah, i am so glad that i did the defoliation in veg as i thought i did not... so my plant won't even notice that i stripped her... O.o
just thought to fill you in... (the ones who were/are interested)

I'm interested in the results.
I also defol. I just do it differently. I defol in veg to create a bush. Along with some topping. I defol in veg to reduce the internodal length.
I defol in the first few weeks of flower to allow better airflow. Also for better light penetration but mostly for airflow. Also I never cut off leaves that don't have a branch growing out with at least 3 nodes. Otherwise that branch will grow very slow. Jmo
I also lolipop about half the plant just before I flip to flower

I also defol just a little the last 2 weeks of flower if needed. Just to ripen some hidden buds. Or at least give them some color. Sometimes I just tuck the leaves instead of removing them. Plants use their leaves for photosynthesis and transpiration so you don't want to remove too many.

Apparently with the method im using now, the guy does say that all bud sites are bigger yields and ripen same time as tops do... so all i can do is wait and see... but we can experiment on my plant lol...

Good morning fellow farmers...

So as i waited patiently this morning for my lights to go on... I did some research on the method I'm using now (total defol).
Might have made a mistake but my girl looks good i think.

She is standing tall and perky...
Took some pictures of her and here are the results after 22hours...

Main cola:

No ill effects yet that i can see...
I added more plant ties to the 2 tiny colas growing near the top half of the plant...

Redgravemine said:

This one is almost done if it's just male. If those are also female flowers then about 4 weeks left. It's 6 weeks old.

Unless you meant the facehugger. Not sure about him at all. He appeared the other day. Him and his jumping spider friend seem to be keeping the locusts away so i leave them be. The jumping spider likes to play alot.
And what is that right above the spider?
And this is the "main" stalk on oddball.
